COYOTE was the first series to show where creators could go if they thought beyond comics as they were, and has been cited by dozens of comics pros as an influence on their careers. It was rated one of America's Top 8 comics. Its interracial romance got it banned in parts of the country.

Following Marshall Rogers's run on I AM COYOTE, Steve Leialoha drew two gorgeous issues of this series before giving way to Jackson Guice for one, and then Chas Truog for the remainder.

6: I created a character called X-Caliber. Marvel later tried to buy the name and when I demurred, they created a series called Excalibur. Valiant later got into a fight with Marvel over Valiant's book, X-O MANOWAR, and licensed X-Caliber from me to battle back. Who could ever have guessed?
